CinePlex® Behavioral Research System Version 3 CinePlex® Behavioral Research System Version 3 (CinePlex System) is a leading digital video recording, tracking, behavioral analysis and file editing suite. CinePlex is fully integrated with Plexon’s OmniPlex® and MAP neural data acquisition systems for synchronized data and expanded functionality, or it can operate as a stand-alone system. It is also possible to integrate CinePlex with a selected third party data acquisition system. The CinePlex System centers around two important programs: CinePlex Studio and CinePlex Editor. Additional specialized functionality is available through the following add-ons to CinePlex Studio: CinePlex Tracking, CinePlex Basic Behavior, *NEW* CinePlex Behavior Recognition and CinePlex 3D. Specialized hardware and customer selected cameras complete the system. CinePlex Studio CinePlex Studio is the data acquisition portion of the CinePlex System providing the ability to capture video to AVI files for online or later viewing and analysis. This recording technology is the basic building block for the optional programs. Features CinePlex Editor CinePlex Editor is a software tool that enables the OmniPlex System or MAP System user to view and edit synchronized video and neural data files together. Features Integrated viewing of neural data files (Plexon .PLX, NeuroExplorer® .NEX) and AVI files Stand-alone video recording Synchronized video recording with neural data recording from Display of tracking position data overlaid on video Plexon MAP Systems Plexon OmniPlex® Systems Removal of temporal segments of neural data during artifact-generating behaviors (chewing, grooming, etc.) Other vendor’s neural data recording systems Seek and search based on event markers Triggered video capture, for more accurate time stamping of video frames (25 microsecond accuracy) Save edited neural data to Plexon (.PLX) and NeuroExplorer® (.NEX) files, or export to Excel®, MATLAB®, or text files Low noise cameras: 640 x 480 resolution up to 200 frames per second; 960 x 960 resolution up to 70 frames per second Simultaneous recordings from up to four cameras Standard video .AVI files with MPEG file compression for greatly reduced file size CinePlex Tracking option including Object Contour Mode, LED Tracking Mode and two Reflective Color Tracking Modes (see back) CinePlex Basic Behavior option where experimental subjects can cause logical and digital events by traversing zones, matching angle targets for head vectors, and meeting speed targets (see back) *NEW* CinePlex Behavior Recognition option for user defined animal posture and activity analysis (see back) CinePlex 3D option that allows real-time and offline tracking in three dimensions (see back) Video-aided insertion of event markers and intervals Reads MJPEG and Plexon MPEG AVI files Technical Specifications CinePlex System Features Specifications and Options Platform Windows 7 or Windows XP Configurations Fully integrated with OmniPlex or MAP Systems, stand-alone, or integrated with the TDT data acquisition system Camera types AVT Stingray: 640x480 (up to 80 fps); AVT Pike: 640x480 (up to 200 fps), 960x960 (up to 70 fps) Number of cameras AVT Stingray: 1 to 4 AVT Pike (200 fps): 1 to 2 Lenses Standard, 1/2” CS mount, 4.5-12.5mm; Tele-zoom, 1/2” C mount, 8-46mm (with CS adapter) Video file format MPEG, MJPEG Activation requirement Plexon version and option specific license key For more information email [email protected] or call +1-214-369-4957 www.plexon.com CPXDS0001c CinePlex Tracking Option Tracking can be performed live or offline (from files) OmniPlex/MAP System online tracking coordinates available to online user-written programs via C/C++ and MATLAB® SDKs Standalone CinePlex Studio tracking data are available through UDP network protocol Four methods for real-time animal position tracking: body contour, colored LEDs on a headstage, and two unique techniques for color markers supporting up to 10 colors Whole animal tracking for solid and multi-colored animals Intelligent tracking algorithms help ignore reflections and spurious distracters Arenas of both simple and complex shapes can be created to operate with all possible mazes All tracking data can be visualized over live video CinePlex 3D Option Allows tracking of up to 10 color markers from two or more video streams in three dimensions 3-D reconstructions available both online and from files Simple calibration avoiding complex and tedious measuring between cameras and points in the experimental area Cameras can be moved and recalibrated in minutes Easy camera calibration expands study environment and camera angle options – no longer requiring a designated environment with permanent camera placement CinePlex Basic Behavior Option Events can be generated when tracked objects enter or leave specified zones, reach selected speeds, look at particular targets, or execute predefined sequences Visually displayed events can be used to generate pulses or voltage levels to control or signal other equipment. Zones – for social interaction studies or behavioral training -may be statically defined or centered on tracked objects Logical operations on behavioral events may be concatenated to create complex events – e.g. create an event and generate a digital output when an object enters a zone at a certain speed – simultaneously for certain cameras Real-time statistics calculated for all behavioral parameters, including time and trajectory length when object was performing different behavioral events 24 programmable digital output lines *New* CinePlex Behavior Recognition Option Allows automatic recognition of different animal postures, analyzing video files recorded from a top-view camera and detects body features required for recognition Detection based on user defined postures/behaviors Additional parameters, such as speed levels and proximity to zones of interest, can be used in the analysis Able to detect body postures and corresponding behaviors including walking, running, stretching, rearing, body turning, head turning, sniffing, grooming, and more Available in stand-alone configurations only PLEXON®, the five-line symbol, CinePlex®, DigiAmp™, Offline Sorter™, OmniPlex®, PlexBright™, PlexStim™ and Radiant™ are registered and unregistered trademarks of Plexon Inc, Dallas, Texas, USA. ©2012 Plexon Inc.
